Sometimes, a little reminder goes a long way. This time each year I feel the pull of the vortex of activities looming just ahead. School projects, assignments, cheer practices, football games, homework, cheer competitions(GO BISON!) , birthdays, anniversaries. Although, this year is different ~ I don't have a brain surgery scheduled for December this year. I think I am going to achieve my goal this year to stay out of all operating rooms in 2009!

Even with the stress that comes with school starting up again, I feel like an enormous load has been lifted off my shoulders. I passed my Microsoft SQL Server 2005 exam a couple of weeks ago so now I have tons of brain cells freed up for mindless movie/TV trivia! I am looking forward to the season premieres in the upcoming weeks: Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Fringe, Castle, Brothers and Sisters, Medium, The Office, Flash Forward, Heroes, Biggest Looser... time to make room on the DVR.

I hope to blog more this month ~ there's lots to say, just not feeling inspired at the present moment. There's lots to say about my brain tail ~ still putting up a good fight in my head, stay tuned for more details on that soon. I am sure the blog drought will end soon. In the spirit of story telling, please leave me a comment to request a blog subject you'd like me to write about.

Lacie's MRI

My Chiari Brain Tail ~ The difficulties of Chiari (pronounced key-ARE-ee) go beyond balance, as a lack of space at the base of the skull pushes the cerebellum and brain stem into the upper spinal canal, placing pressure on the spinal cord.

I have set up this blog in an attempt to keep friends and family posted as I embark on this new journey that I have been commissioned to take. Bear with me ~ along with my experiences, you will likely find some random ramblings about my latest passions, too. Here's my e-mail address if you want to drop me a line sometime: lemorrison70@gmail.com

Hope In You

Courage

Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavor, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions. ~ Aung San Suu Kyi

Leave Your Cares To The Sea

To Be Fully Human

To be fully human is to believe in something or someone,
to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and
somehow put one foot in front of the other until you manage
to find your home again.
~ Oprah Winfrey

Ancient Buddhist Blessing

May no one who ever meets me have a meeting of little consequence. May the simple fact of our meeting assist in the fulfillment of their wishes. May I be a lamp in the darkness of life, a home for the homeless and a servant to the world.
